Size: 500GB
Brand: Toshiba
Model: v63700-A
P/N: HDTB105AK3AA
Format: NTFS
Firmware/Softmod: 4.3U (Softmodded with a tutorial I've forgotten )
Loader: USB Loader GX is the only one that worked.Does not work consistently.Comments: I was able to get USB Loader GX to detect the drive only if it was unplugged when the console was turned on and the program was first started, plugging it in only at the point USB Loader GX started counting down with its "Please connect a drive" timer. Many games won't work at all, most games will freeze within a few seconds to a few minutes, and there are only a few games that don't crash as often - but eventually they all freeze and require a hard power-off.

just got through fighting with a wd my book 2tb (wdbacw0020hbk-newm) tried in wdfs and ntfs (like my previous hacks for mine and family members). i also tried fat32 and even just wbfs. i'm using the current guide (at time of post) on both a 4.2u (w/updated wads) and a friends 4.3u. both are running the latest usb loader gx. also tried neogama in wbfs. this drive seems not to work with the wiis and is about to get returned to walmart. i've forgotten the exact cios and revisions of the software but they on the softmod any wii guide right now. a tip to everyone, learn from my experience and stick to the list lol.

I just bought this HDD a couple weeks ago and it is Awesome. It works perfectly with all the apps in the guide and has no problems at all. It allowed me to stop using my SD card and 32gb Cruzer Glide that my 7yr old son kept taking out and loosing. Now I keep all of my apps, backups, emulators, roms, and videos all on this one drive formatted to FAT32 without additional partitions. It has a solid durable shell and a short usb 3.0 to 2.0 cable, so there's no risk of tangling or snagging the cable. I bought mine from Target(in store) w/10% off for $70. Here is a link to AMAZON for the exact Hdd described. Plus, you can get a 2TB for $99 from Target, although I don't know if its tested and approved(Working)

I just switched this hard drive to my wii and was having issues. I was able to fix the issues using the software that came on the drive. It has some power saving feature that screws it up but I changed it to never use that feature and it's been working perfect since.
